Depends on what you've got. Antibiotics only work on bacterial infections, not viral. If you have a viral infection (most colds and flues) taking antibiotics will only hamper your own immune system.
I've had doctors prescribe antibiotics for colds that wouldn't go away for a long time and they didn't end up helping much.
